The GridMonitor uses the Apache
webserver
including the PHP extension mod_php
to
generate and deliver the HTML pages.
Version 1.3 and 2.0 of
Apache
and version 4 and 5 of
mod_php
are supported.
Currently, only Linux istallations of
Apache
are supported.
Installing the GridMonitor GUI package requires about 10MB of disk space
located in /opt
.
To install the graphical user interface for the GridMonitor, the RPM
package
psgridmon-<version>-noarch.rpm
must
be installed using the command
rpm -Uv psgridmon-5.0.7-1.noarch.rpm
After configuring the GridMonitor GUI (see the section called “Configuring the graphical user interface (GridMonitor GUI)”) and reloading the webserver by running the command
/etc/init.d/apache reload
the GridMonitor may be accessed using the link
http://localhost/gridmon, whereas
localhost
must be replaced by the actual
hostname, if accessed from different nodes.
Currently, all users are allowed to view the information provided by the GridMonitor. No restrictions are applied.
To get the full navigation capabilities, JavaScript must be enabled within the web browser.
